I might get exiled for this, but I don't believe anyone is "trans." Some people are genuinely delusional and deserving of pity while others mimic delusion to gain social power.

You should clarify that your bosses are Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog. I finally figured that out but only after reading your entire post and following several links.

Has this parallel been tried?
I believe that "the Nazi citizens of Germany in the 1930's were acting with the earnestly held belief that they were making the world a better place" is more true than false.
I am NOT trying to equate progressives with Nazis but rather making a simple reducio ad absurdum argument.

Banning discussion of the legimitacy of elections, discussion of whether the neovaccines/masks are effective or not, discussion that homo sapiens is a sexually dimorphic mammalian species on the one hand,
and explicit content parental advisory lyrics on the other hand.
Personally, I think that's a false equivalency.

All of the above issues would not be issues if the writing were not so intolerable.

Seems like there is a corrolary with this recent pattern.
-
It's not happening.
-
But it's a good thing that it's happening. (CRT in schools, double mastectomies for minors, etc.)

I believe a certain inevitability was granted to the Grand Inquisitor's program, and in 2022, it's hard for me to disagree with that. While I believe personally Dostoyevsky opposed it, he acknowledged its unstoppable inevitability- the cold iron logic of history.

I skipped most of this conversation on Israel, because I find it overly politically technical and boring while my own feelings are ambivalent and apathetic, but this was a great tl;dr

And at some point, I have to ask which is more likely: that I cannot possibly see the truth, or that I am being told a lie that would advantage the people telling it to me.
Bruh, you just described the last five years perfectly.
As of press time, the fundraiser has pulled in $226.69, $10 of which was donated by Kay himself.
Can we all just take a moment of solemn silence to appreciate the advanced level of trolling here?
Master class.
Als0, I had to look up your reference, which I posted here in case anyone else besides me was lost:
"The Law Of Merited Impossibility is an epistemological construct governing the paradoxical way overclass opinion makers frame the discourse about the clash between religious liberty and gay civil rights. It is best summed up by the phrase, “It’s a complete absurdity to believe that Christians will suffer a single thing from the expansion of gay rights, and boy, do they deserve what they’re going to get.”"

It must be the null hypothesis if they hope to get through peer review.

Female hypoagency at its finest. And that is not intended as a smear against women, only that it appears that our society often fails to assign agency to women whereas men are seen as hyperagentic.

Nice video. Thanks for linking it as I never would have watched it otherwise.
Have the mods considered that now that we are off of Reddit, it's silly to cram everything into a Culture War thread?
I mean, I understand why it was useful when the Reddit Stazi were listening in. But now that we have fled the country, jumped over the wall, and escaped, do we really need to cram ourselves so unnaturally into on single thread?
Breathe. Go outside. Let there be many threads with many conversations, controversial ones even!
The rules that were created under oppression should be abolished when we have fled to the new prairie!

Also it's not culture war. It's medical science.

No. What I said makes more sense. Nato has been funding this war from the beginning. The CIA worked with Nato to establish Ukraine's independence in the first place.
But there are British and American boots on the ground, likely using mercenaries as a thin veneer of plausible deniability.
There was a breakthrough in Balakliya, although Russian contigents continue fighting within the city.

To my understanding this represents an escalation of the war, wherein NATO forces commanded by Nato leadership are directly involved in a major offensive for the first time.
Will be interesting to see how Russia responds.
I do think we are in danger of overestimating the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Yes they have had initial success, but so did the Germans at the Bastogne. I think by the end of the week it will be more clear.
EDIT:
It appears Russian forces withdrew from Kupyansk late last night.

I would replace your term "Twitter mercenaries" with "Twitter vigilantes." Perhaps some get paid but it's my understanding that most do so out of sheer love of persecution.

sorry I thought it was common knowledge that the Whitehouse coordinates with social media giants to censor American citizens.
I prefer the term American idpol colonialism.
